Why This CD Matters
This collection combines Chopin's Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 with a substantial selection of solo piano works including nocturnes, waltzes, impromptus, a barcarolle, and the Fantasy in F Minor. Claudio Arrau's rich, thoughtful approach to Romantic repertoire makes these performances especially appealing to collectors of twentieth-century piano recordings.
Collector Note
1992 Musical Heritage Society release featuring recordings originally made for Philips Classics. The concerto performances feature the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Eliahu Inbal, while the solo recordings span several periods of Arrau's distinguished career.
